Methods for SSL protected NTLM re-authentication and devices thereof

Abstract:

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that assists with SSL protected NTLM reauthentication includes receiving a connection reset message from a web application server. The received connection reset message is forwarded to the client computing device. A recent request including connection data to access a web application is received on a new connection as a response to the forwarded connection reset message from the client computing device. Next, it is determined whether the received recent request to access the web application including the connection data is identical to a stored connection data. The client computing device is re-authenticated and granted access to the requested web application to when the connection data is determined to be identical to the stored connection data.
